    Anybody else watch 3 or 4 episodes as they're falling asleep at night? There's something kind of tranquil about James yelling at a 30 year old game.

      And what are the sources for this "fun fact"? Because I can't find anything confirming that the word unicorn was used this way. And the horse-like unicorn myth is over a thousand years old referenced in biblical texts.
      You use rhinos as an example, but Europeans had little to no knowledge of African/indian rhinos in the middle-ages. Reports of African rhinos didn't spread through Europe until the 17th century. Where people falsely identified the animal to be the "unicorn" described in the ancient myths due to its vague similarities, and some still argue that ancient rhinos breeds might have had some influence on the myths origin.
      But we are still talking about the mythical creature "unicorn", and not some generalized category.

      Ghosts n Goblins actually came out in the US in arcades before Super Mario Brothers did, so it got a lot of things right (such as having secrets, varied level settings, a sense of progress, and an end goal) seeing that it’s one of the earliest modern sidescrollers.

    After being able to play the "Ghosts 'N Goblins" series again recently for Halloween, here is the best strategy for playing through each game that I've played thanks to James:
    Ghosts 'N Goblins = Get the knife
    Ghouls 'N Ghosts = Get the knife
    Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts = Get the crossbow
